Chapter 1143: Proposal for Marriage
Chu Jingqi stood up quickly with a gloomy face, "Disappeared? Where did she go? Didn't she have someone watching her every step of the way?"
"They are monitoring us every step of the way. Even when we go to bed at night, we don't miss our people's eyes. However, I don't know if Le Ying discovered something in advance or what. On the second day after Master Chen went there, we The people who were monitoring her suddenly fell into a coma, and when they woke up, the Leying people were gone.”
Gan Song reported tremblingly.
When Chu Jingqi heard this, she knew that her people had fallen into other people's traps.
Xia Zihan also guessed that the person monitoring Le Ying was drugged without any trace.
"Not only Le Ying disappeared, but the other three masters and apprentices of Yueshan Sect also disappeared. The fourth master and apprentice left Jiangning City overnight." Gan Song added.
At midnight, the gate of Jiangning City was closed. According to the laws of Dasheng Kingdom, the gate would not be opened unless it was a messenger from the imperial court or an official from the imperial court.
However, for the four masters and disciples of Yueshan Gate, the city gate was as good as not there. It was not difficult for them to fly out from the city wall.
Chu Jingqi's expression was as if she had gone to the North Pole and put the ice there on her face. Her voice was cold and cold, "Send someone to Yueshan Gate to find out Le Ying's whereabouts immediately."
He also thought that since Le Ying found out and dared to escape, she would not foolishly go back to Yueshanmen and throw herself into a trap.
Chu Jingqi then ordered, "Inform the Third Young Master to use the best intelligence network in the world to find out the whereabouts of Le Ying."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Gan Song bowed and went down.
Chu Xuanyu's worried eyebrows knitted together, "I heard that people from the Yueshan Sect are the most protective of others. Since that girl is a member of the Yueshan Sect, it will not be easy to catch her."
What he was even more worried about was whether the people who arrested Yue Shanmen would break the peace between Jianghu and the imperial court.
"I won't arrest him openly." Chu Jingqi curled his lips coldly. He had already ordered his subordinates not to conflict openly with people in the world.
Zhuo said in fear, "Aqi, Ayu, do you think the evil spirit will escape from that girl's body and then be possessed by someone else?"
If this is the case, it will be even more difficult to get rid of the evil spirits.
"If this is the case, we can only take precautions to prevent trouble before it happens." Xia Zihan said.
However, there is no one who can prevent a thief for a thousand days in the world. Only a thief who has a thousand days can prevent the evil spirit from possessing him. He can only wear Master Chen's possession charm day and night and stay with him day and night.
After the family had dinner, Chu Jingqi and Chu Xuanyu went to the study to talk. Xia Zihan accompanied Mr. Zhuo to the flower house for a walk, and the two little buns followed closely.
Zhuo said, "I heard from Chu Qing that tomorrow you and Aqi are going to visit your grandmother in the Chu Mansion, and your mother will go with you. She hasn't seen your grandmother in half a month, and there are still some problems. Miss her old man.”
"Well, okay, mother, is grandma okay?" Xia Zihan thought that since she got married, she often went out and rarely went to accompany Mrs. Zeng. She felt a little guilty towards Mrs. Zeng and felt a little sorry for her grandmother.
Mrs. Zhuo seemed to have sensed her thoughts, so she patted the back of Xia Zihan's hand and said, "Okay, the medicinal materials you brought back last year are very nourishing for the body. Your grandmother's health is much better than the previous two years." , and looks good.”
"That's good. I still have a lot of medicinal materials in the warehouse. I will send some to my grandmother tomorrow."
There are also two thousand-year-old ginseng obtained in Jiangning City this time. One is given to Zhuo, and the remaining one is just for grandma to eat tomorrow. After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked in the flower room for a while, they went to sit in the small flower hall. Mrs. Zhuo chatted and told Xia Zihan some things in the capital.
What was talked about the most was Rong San and Rong Wu.
When the Queen Mother was possessed by an evil spirit, she gave Rong Wuzhi to Chu Jingqi as a side chamber. As a result, when the Queen Mother regained consciousness, she bluntly said that this marriage did not count.
Rong Wu felt happy and sad for a while, and felt extremely wronged.
A few days after Chu Jingqi left the capital, she ran to the Queen Mother and cried.
The Queen Mother was annoyed by her crying, and felt that although she had been possessed by an evil spirit before giving such a decree, in the end, she had made Rong Wu lose face. After thinking about it, the Queen Mother went to the emperor to discuss Rong Wu's peace. The matter of the prince.
Previously, the person who was granted marriage by Yizhi was Prince Ping.
Two days later, the Queen Mother issued two more edicts, also granting marriage to Prince Rong Wu and Heping. However, the person they granted marriage to was changed.
Prince Ping pointed out a daughter of a third-rank official to be Princess Ping, and the wedding would be held on the 22nd day of the first lunar month after the new year.
However, Rong Wu was pointed out to Qin Xueshi, a fourth-rank official in the Hanlin Academy of the imperial court. Qin Xueshi was in his early thirties. His first wife had just died three months ago and the relationship had not yet been renewed. He had a twelve-year-old daughter in his name. A daughter, an eight-year-old legitimate son, a six-year-old concubine, and a two-year-old concubine.
The Rong family is now ruined. They have lost their title and even Prince Rong's palace. Only Rong San has joined the Flying Tigers and has become a squad leader, taking care of the Rong family and raising a large group of people left by Rong Wu and his father. Concubine and concubine.
Rong Wu, a woman who had been married and was divorced by her husband's family, was accused of being a fourth-grade bachelor, so she was considered to have married high.
Otherwise, it is not impossible for a fourth-grade bachelor, even though his official position is not high and his family is not rich, to marry an innocent girl from a small, scholarly family as his legitimate wife.
However, since the Queen Mother proposed the marriage, Qin Xueshi was unwilling, so he had to accept Yi's order and prepare for the wedding obediently.
After Rong Wu learned about the marriage decree, he immediately fainted from shock.
When she woke up, she started crying and howling to find the Queen Mother, saying that she didn't want to marry an old man whose wife was dead, and that she wanted to be a stepmother.
When the maid next to her heard this, she hurriedly grabbed her and refused to let her go. She also sent someone to find Rong San.
"What are you doing to him? He doesn't care whether I live or die." Rong Wu cried and scolded the maid.
The maid urged, "Auntie, how can you violate the Queen Mother's decree? In the current situation of our Rong Mansion, we don't dare to violate the Queen Mother's decree. Auntie, you have to go into the palace to thank the Queen Mother."
"What did you say?" Rong Wuqi's face was twisted, "Why can't the Queen Mother's decree be changed? She could change the decree that betrothed me to Prince Chu before, so why can't this decree be changed?"
Rong Wu was like crazy and took out his anger on the maid.
When Rong San arrived, Rong Wu was riding on the maid, grabbing her hair and cursing, "I'll beat you to death, you little whore. Tell me, are you attracted to Prince Chu?" I’m not allowed to marry him, don’t you think so?”
